Stars and their Barbies

This flaxen-haired Barbie (above) has been specially commissioned to represent a certain iconic 70s pin-up, but can you guess who?

In the gallery below you'll see a selection of Barbies immediately followed by an image of the famous names they were modelled on. Can you guess the celebrities from their Barbie doppelgangers? Give it a try just for fun with the images below...
